My mother is a Wolverine, and a certified koolaid liberal.

She's still p!$$ed that I never even applied to UofM and got my degree from a non-political engineering college.

Apparently this is in retaliation for alleged "union harrasssment" in Colombia. The commies don't drink "Coke", but sure like to grow it.

Gotta go get some...and some rum (Demerara)

The University of Illinois is looking to do the same. Their long term pouring rights contract with Coke is just about over, and they blasted Coke headquarters to clean up their act. Looks like this a coordinated attack.

Pepsi execs must have some pretty big smiles :~)

And it's not the same w/ Pepsi.

Captain and diet Pepsi (just a splash of diet) is far superior.

It's been my observation that Pepsi drinkers can drink Coke products if no Pepsi is available, but Coke drinkers won't touch Pepsi with someone else's tongue.

Not this Pepsi drinker. Coke tastes flat and syrupy to me.

Looks like another US company should move operations to Mexico. That *is* the goal of this student campaign I'm sure.

All this Jesse Jackson-esque scam is missing is a 'donation' from Coca-Cola to the university for the privilege of continuing to get their business.
